speaker bowers, president phan, when you're ready to vote, i'm ready to sign. there's still more we can do to help children in our state who are facing the biggest challenges. the late great john mccain called education the civil rights issue of the 21st century, and he was right. as he put it, what is the advantage in a low-income area of sending a child to a failing school and that being their only choice? in that spirit we've worked hard to create more choice and opportunities for kids and their parents. open enrollment. public charter schools. education savings accounts. and in arizona much of this work has been bipartisan. we're celebrating 25 years of public charter schools in our state. another arizona idea that's been a model for the country. and -- [applause] and today, we are honored to have the two trail blazers who led this bipartisan innovation. one republican, one democrat. they're back in the chamber today. former superintendent lisa graham keegan and former state senator armando ruiz. this is truly something that making arizona unique, the arizo

former obama white house counsel bob bower describing that as a quote, major event and for bob bower, the least hyperbolic man on earth, that's like a 10-alarm fire for him to call something a major event. saying today quote, dramatically forceful responses to mr. trump's assault on rule of law norms have been all too rare. a resignation can set off an alarm bell for institutions. it upholds rule of law norms in the very act of signaling that they are failing. they are failing. so like i said, the alarms ringing. what do awill rememblarms do? they are supposed to wake us up. in this case we are all awake. what do we do now that we're awake? there's no hiding the importance of what's going on here. the country is well aware of what's going on here. all the people in position to know how dangerous and bad this is have struck the alarm bell, right? and so now what do we do about it? the idea of being a rule of law country is not just about the -- you know, the technocratic prowess of your law enforcement system and your justice system. i mean, that matters but it is bigger than that. it'

i regret and a great karen bowers move however her decision deserves respect she has argued about the chance though or in this case the chance the candidate of the c.d.u. and the party leader belong together so consequently she has announced that she will not run again as party leader because she is not available as chancellor candidate so this is a consequent position and what we have to do now is a sea of you is organize the next conference we need a good format we need clarity about the candid churches and then the 1000 delegates of the party conference will once again take a decision a very important decision for germany just like we took a decision 14 months ago when i become paolo was elected after a very interesting internal competition against matts and you had spawn you say friedrich merits mr mcallister do you think he will be the next head of the c.d.u. and the next german chancellor. well in the moment and all these developments are still very fresh in berlin we don't have. personalities who are ready to run i believe thought in the next few days and weeks we will know mor

annagret kramp karen—bower also says she will not put herself forward to replace angela merkel as chancelloralternative for germany party. the court of appeal in london has ordered the british government not to remove any of the 50 foreign—born offenders due to be deported to jamaica on tuesday morning. some of the people involved have been in britain for decades. the british government has insisted that only serious offenders are being deported. 0ur correspondent adina campbell has the latest developments. well, it is still not clear if this flight will be going ahead. there have been reports tonight it has been cancelled but we have just received a statement from the home 0ffice saying active legal proceedings are still in place. now, earlier we saw a sealed document here at the high court showing that some of the legal applications had been refused. however, there have been reports by one human rights group saying that some of the deportees would not leave the uk tomorrow because of problems accessing a working mobile phone and therefore not being able to obtain legal advice. now, this fl

annagret kramp karen—bower has also said she will not put herself forward to replace angela merkel as alternative for germany. the very soggy red carpet has been rolled up for another year, and no doubt there are still a few hangovers being nursed across hollywood. but the legacy of this year's 0scars will live on. the south korean film parasite made history by winning best picture. laura bicker has all the reaction from south korea. director boonjong—ho was not the only one overwhelmed by the scale of parasite's success. as he grappled with his four 0scars, including one for best picture, south koreans in seoul could not hide their pride. translation: this kind of thing is a huge national celebration. i want to thank the director and all the actors and actresses. this is wonderful. parasite tells the story of a poor family living in a squalid basement flat and a rich family who reside in a modernist mansion. while the film is a work of fiction, the apartment life is not. this is just one of thousands who battle unbearable humidity and rapidly growing mould in the city's basement flat
